In addition to flour, Shiyue also added some soybeans, as the people on the island were all severely malnourished.
Guided by their covert efforts, the next day before noon, someone discovered the batch of grain hidden under the cliff crevice.
This discovery caused an immediate sensation, and the entire island was abuzz with excitement!
Wu He personally led a group to transport the flour and soybeans down from the mountain, and almost everyone at home came out to watch.
People spontaneously stood on both sides of the mountain road, watching the soldiers carry the grain down with shoulder poles.
Everyone had a smile on their face; it felt like it was almost Chinese New Year!
When the food was delivered to the canteen, Cao Dalin looked at the stack of more than a dozen large sacks and burst into tears of joy.
Cao Dalin has been under tremendous pressure recently due to poor grain storage.
In less than ten days, he looked like he had aged a lot, and his face had become thin and sunken.
Even now, though tears are streaming down his face, a light has finally returned to his eyes.
With this batch of food, the island's greatest calamity was finally over.
Wu He and his team contacted the regiment immediately to report the situation.
The regiment took the news of a batch of grain that had mysteriously appeared on the island very seriously.
They immediately indicated that they would send someone to the island to check on it as soon as the storm ended.
In fact, on the very day the grain was damaged, the Sixth Iron Battalion reported the situation to its superiors via radio.
However, due to the bad weather and the large waves near the dock, the group was unable to safely dock twice when they sent out supply boats.
In the end, he had no choice but to leave.
The group had been trying to figure out how to deliver supplies to them, but they never expected to receive such a batch of food.
Because he was worried about the potential dangers of the unknown source of the grain, Wu He even asked his wife, Mei Ying, to inspect the grain.
The result is naturally safe.
So at noon that day, the long-lost aroma of food filled the canteen, and finally, the large basin full of steamed buns appeared at the front of the line, something that everyone hadn't seen in a long time.
Because we don't know when the supply ship will arrive and dock, we can't let everyone eat as much as they want for the time being.
But two large white steamed buns per person, a spoonful of green vegetables and boiled soybeans in salt water, and a banana still made everyone feel full, a feeling they hadn't experienced in a long time.
As if sensing everyone's joy, the rain on Whale Island gradually began to subside from that day onward.
The heavy rain turned into moderate rain, and then gradually turned into light rain.
The wind, which seemed capable of blowing people over, gradually subsided and eventually disappeared.
Three days later, the supply ship finally docked.
After a large amount of supplies were unloaded from the ship, this disaster, which still sends shivers down people's spines whenever they think about it, finally came to an end.
A small detachment also arrived with the supply ship.
After disembarking and meeting up with Wu He, they went straight to the crevice in the cliff.
They lingered in that area for a long time and seemed to have done a lot of exploration.
But Shiyue didn't care about any of these things.
She started getting busy again.
After the supply ship delivered the supplies, they were to move out of the mess hall.
The experts' canteen will be reopened in the future.
She and Liang Yueming had too many things to do and simply didn't have time to care about those things.
Moreover, Shiyue felt very at ease, knowing that no matter who came, there would be almost no clues.
Firstly, she had already made a deal with the system before the grain was even taken out.
In exchange for 10% of the grain purchase price, the system replaced all the grain with grain from this era.
Although this approach still has many flaws and remains puzzling, it will never lead people to suspect that these things are related to later generations.
As for how to remedy these flaws?
No need to make amends.
Trying to cover things up will only make things worse, so let's just leave it at that.
Anyway, there will always be some inexplicable events in this world, so one more or one less doesn't really matter.
As long as you don't suspect yourself, nothing else matters.
Sure enough, the investigation team stayed on the island for three whole days, practically searching the entire back mountain.
They questioned everyone on the island.
But still, nothing was found.
In the end, he had no choice but to leave with a belly full of questions.
After they left, the island returned to peace.
At first, people would discuss the source of the food.
For this reason, he created countless outrageous stories.
But as time went by, the topic was gradually forgotten and no one brought it up again.
When another supply ship came to deliver supplies, Shiyue received a letter that shocked her greatly!
The letter was written by Uncle Shen.
In her heart, Uncle Shen told her that he had arrived in Nanping and was now staying at Uncle Lü's house. He asked her to return by boat and that he had something to discuss with her.
Uncle Shen said that Uncle Lü had already given his approval, and that she just needed to go back with the people who came. He also reminded her to bring her belongings.
Upon reading the contents of the letter, Shiyue was truly surprised. She never expected that Uncle Shen would make a special trip to visit her!
She had previously delivered the letter to Uncle Shen by running errands.
As requested, the errand boy visited again the next day, saying he would retrieve the reply for her.
But Uncle Shen refused at the time.
He said he would handle the matter personally and that no one else needed to deliver the message back.
Shiyue didn't pay attention when she received the system notification.
She thought this was probably because Uncle Shen was a cautious person.
After all, the contents of that letter were too confidential, so it's understandable that Uncle Shen would use someone else's hand.
But Shiyue originally thought that Uncle Shen would personally go to the post office to send her a reply, or give her a reply through a channel he trusted.
But Shiyue never expected that this person would come over in person!
After reading the letter, she had nothing more to say, so she went to the camp to ask Wu He for leave and explained the reason.
Knowing that it was Deputy Commander Lü who sent people to pick up Shiyue, Wu He naturally couldn't stop them.
He immediately assigned a junior soldier whom Shiyue was familiar with to help out at the experts' canteen in Shiyue's place for the time being.
After arranging her work, Shiyue went home and told her family about it.
She didn't mention the wooden box, of course. She only said that Uncle Shen came here on official business and made a special detour to Nanping to see her, and then Uncle Lü sent someone to pick her up.
The whole family was very happy and excited to know that Uncle Shen was coming.
He Siyi was even more eager to meet this in-law in person.
He Lixuan naturally knew the purpose of Uncle Shen's visit, and his surprise was no less than Shiyue's.
It just didn't show it.
After returning to the room, the two organized the English account pages that He Lixuan had translated in his spare time over the past few days, placing them together with the wooden box.
Then Shiyue took them and left home, returning to Nanping with the supply ship.
